‘House of Lies’ Season 2: Larenz Tate to Play Don Cheadle’s Brother…Again

Don Cheadle and Larenz Tate will once again be on-screen brothers, but don't worry, they're not trying to put 'Crash' on TV again. Instead, Tate will join the second season of Showtimes' well-watched if critically shaky corporate dramedy 'House of Lies,' playing Marty (Cheadle)'s younger sibling. The series will return this January with its other decadent Showtime cohorts, but who else has joined the cast before the premiere?

Whether or not you enjoyed the first season of Showtime's fast-talking wall-breaking dramedy 'House of Lies,' the Don Cheadle/Kristin Bell fronted series remains on track to premiere its second season on January 13, 2013. According to Deadline, one-time 'Rescue Me' and Cheadle's on-screen 'Crash' Brother will join the second year in a recurring role as Marty Kaan's brother Malcolm.

Described as well-educated and their father's favorite son, Malcolm is nonetheless identified as the "ultimate sham artist," less ambitious than his brother and an activist to boot. Elsewhere, 'The Cleveland Show' voice Nia Long (also pictured above) will also join the show's second season as a fellow consultant and former classmate of Marty’s who the savvy businessman comes up against.

The new season of the Showtime drama will premiere on Sunday, January 13 as part of the network's "Sinful Sundays," which also includes the likes of 'Shameless' and 'Californication.' Tell us if you'll check it out in the comments below!
